Make Your Own Uchiwa (Japanese Fan)：
Design and decorate your own round paper fan using pressed flowers and origami. Uchiwa have long been used in Japan as a summer accessory to create a refreshing breeze. You can bring your handmade fan home as a unique souvenir.
Matcha Latte (Green Tea with Milk)：
Matcha is powdered Japanese green tea. When mixed with milk, it becomes matcha latte — smooth, creamy, and less bitter than plain matcha. It’s easy to enjoy even if it’s your first time trying matcha.
Japanese Sweets (2 Types)：
Modern Monaka – a crispy wafer filled with custard cream, mochi, and topped with dried fruit. A new twist on a Japanese classic.
Kokedama Sweet – a cute dessert shaped like a Japanese moss ball plant.
This program combines crafting and tasting. Take photos, share with friends and family, and enjoy Japanese culture in a friendly and approachable way.

What To Expect
This program lets you enjoy both Japanese tradition and fun hands-on activities. The highlight is making your own original uchiwa (Japanese fan). Using pressed flowers and Japanese-patterned origami paper, you can design your very own uchiwa to take home as a special memory. This activity is inspired by the Japanese spirit of appreciating nature and plants. After the craft session, you will enjoy a cup of matcha latte and two types of wagashi. Matcha latte is made by mixing powdered matcha with milk, which makes it creamy and mild — perfect for first-timers or even children. For the sweets, you will try two unique creations: Monaka – a traditional Japanese sweet made with crisp wafers. Here, it’s arranged in a modern style by adding custard cream, mochi and your choice of dried fruits as toppings. Even those who don’t like sweet red bean paste can enjoy this version. Kokedama-inspired sweet – Kokedama means “moss ball,” a style of Japanese gardening where plants are grown in a ball of soil covered with moss. This dessert is designed to look like a cute little moss ball. Through both making and tasting, you will have a relaxed and fun way to experience Japanese culture.

5.00I never thought making a handicraft could be this enjoyable until I tried this experience. I’m not particularly creative, but this hands-on introduction to traditional Japanese handicraft was incredibly fun and surprisingly easy to enjoy. It felt authentic, relaxing, and was a great way to immerse myself in local culture. The experience was made even better with matcha and mochi wagashi at the end… both were absolutely delicious and the perfect finishing touch. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and memorable cultural activity during their trip.

5.00Japanese hand fan decoration I did all by myself for the first time in my life. They provided some samples of dried flowers and other things for decoration which we stuck together on fan.Everyone had their unique fan design. I also experienced first time making matcha and some matcha Moji sweets. Stuff is very friendly and speak fluent English very helpful if you don’t understand Japanese or just want to give your self relaxation from Japanese language and enjoy some Japanese culture 😊

5.00It was a lot of fun. We got to design our own fans with flowers and imprinted them with an iron. Even though Matcha isn’t my most favorite drink, the Matcha making class was a lot of fun aswell.
A Wonderful Cultural & Mochi-Making Experience — Highly Recommended!

5.00This was one of the most enjoyable hands-on cultural experiences I’ve had in Japan. The crafts class where we made traditional Japanese fans was beautifully organized. The flower designs and artistic elements were thoughtfully prepared, and the instructor gave very clear, patient guidance. Even beginners could create something elegant and meaningful to take home. But the real highlight was the matcha and mochi experience — truly the gem of the program. Everything was explained step-by-step, from preparing matcha from scratch to assembling the sweets. We made matcha drinks ourselves and created delicious desserts with buttermilk-based monaka shells, matcha custard, and beautiful toppings. Not only did everything taste amazing, but the presentation aspect made it even more special. The ingredients were high quality, the tools and setup were professional, and the staff made the entire process fun and welcoming. It felt both authentic and creative — not just a demonstration, but a real interactive experience. Excellent value for money, very well structured, and perfect for anyone interested in Japanese culture and sweets. I would 100% recommend this to visitors and residents alike.
Amazing experience and they are very hospitable!
